+.TH urpmq 8 "05 Jul 2001" "MandrakeSoft" "Mandrake Linux"
+.IX urpmq
+.SH NAME
+urpmq \- urpmi database query tool.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B urpmq [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIpackage_names\fP | \fIrpm_files...\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+urpmq allows querying the urpmi database. It is for you if want to list
+available packages in the various media of urpmi, or list dependancies of
+packages or packages that will be installed if you start urpmi.
+.PP
+Output format of urpmq is the following according to command line options:
+.IP
+[group/]package_name[-version][-release]
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "\fB\--help\fP"
+print an help message and exit.
+.IP "\fB\--update\fP"
+use only update media. This means \fBurpmq\fP will search and resolve
+dependencies only in media marked as update.
+.IP "\fB\--auto-select\fP"
+automatically select all packages that have to be upgraded according to already
+installed packages and packages listed in various media registered.
+.IP "\fB\--headers\fP"
+extract headers for package selected to standard output.
+.IP "\fB\--sources\fP"
+print source url (or file) of all packages selected.
+.IP "\fB\--force\fP"
+ignore error of inexistant packages requested.
+.IP "\fB\-v\fP"
+activate verbose mode.
+.IP "\fB\-d\fP"
+select dependancies (maximal closure).
+.IP "\fB\-u\fP"
+deselect packages if a better version is already installed, this option can be
+used with \fB-d\fP to simulate \fB-M\fP mode of \fBurpmi\fP.
+.IP "\fB\-m\fP"
+choose minimun closure of requires. This is a relatively
+slow algorithm that tries to minimize the number of package to upgrade
+to only what is really necessary.
+.IP "\fB\-M\fP"
+disable minimal closure algorithm so both \fB-d\fP and \fB-u\fP are similar to \fB-M\fP
+mode of \fBurpmi\fP.
+.IP "\fB\-c\fP"
+if maximal closure is used, assume that a package listed mey have wrong or not
+up-to-date dependancies. This cause more package to be upgraded and may correct
+unresolved dependancies on the rpm database.
+.IP "\fB\-p\fP"
+allow search in provides to find package.
+.IP "\fB\-g\fP"
+print group of each packages listed.
+.IP "\fB\-r\fP"
+print version and release of each packages listed.
+.IP "\fB\-d\fP"
+print closure of required packages needed by requested packages on command
+line.
